The Awarehouse Studio was founded by Christian and Patrik Thornell, two adventurers bringing a unique perspective to Swedish film, shaped by many years as monks in the cloudforest of Costa Rica. Our storytelling is infused with a deep curiosity about all of life’s mysteries.
What began with two became four. Composer and sound designer Anton Ariki Sten fills the house with depth and resonance, while screenwriter Rune C Àrn brings a quiet intensity to the written word. Together, we are shaping a studio where story and spirit move as one.
Tales from around this fire are being recognized in festivals and film competitions, featured on prominent platforms, and part of global projects. We continue to co-create and push the boundaries of storytelling through new technology, driven by a desire to spark meaningful conversations.
We’d love to hear about your project. Whether you have a clear vision or just the seed of an idea, this is where the conversation begins.
Share as much or as little as you’d like—your goals, inspirations, or even just a question.
Once you reach out, we’ll set up a time to connect. We’ll explore your ideas and discuss possibilities for a collaboration.
Thank you for reaching out to us! We will read your letter around our fire and get back to you before the next sunset
It lies in our interest that you receive the highest ROI possible when working with us. A large part of our clients already have set distribution processes, but if that isn’t you, we are here to help.

Our studio specializes in both traditional live-action and AI-generated content, with the flexibility to merge both.

By blending AI language models with decades of our own storytelling expertise, we can offer multiple story variations and visual guides for our clients to choose from, setting a tailored foundation before embarking on the film creation process.
Before any production begins, our team conducts thorough market research and analysis to identify trends, target audiences, and potential niches. Utilizing the latest AI tools, we do a deep dive into market behaviors and preferences. This groundwork optimizes your film’s marketability and potential success and sets a solid foundation for the subsequent creative process.
